Samsung Galaxy A25 5G (SM-A256E) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A256E firmware?
A256EXXSEEZH9, released August 19, 2026 with Android 16. It is a security update on bootloader binary 14. The archive holds 115 official builds across 75 regions (CSC).
Is the Samsung Galaxy A25 5G still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from August 2026, and 28 of 75 regions already have a build from that month; the rest usually follow within a few weeks.
Can I downgrade the SM-A256E firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 10 to 14:
- Binary 14 — since Aug 2026
- Binary 13 — since Jul 2026
- Binary 12 — since May 2026
- Binary 11 — since Feb 2026
- Binary 10 — since Jan 2026
A phone already on binary 14 rejects builds with a lower binary in Odin ("SW REV CHECK FAIL"), so it can go back to an earlier Android version only if that version has a binary 14 build. How to read a build number.
